A ocho meses de Katrina, Nueva Orleans lanza primer festival de jazz

LA CIUDAD DEL JAZZ. Desde Bob Dylan a Elvis Costello, los artistas dijeron "presente". (www.nojazzfest.com)

En un intento por recuperar su economía, las autoridades lanzaron hoy el clásico Festival de Jazz y Patrimonio. “Es un motor económico, emocional y una celebración de nuestra cultura", dijo el vocero Matthew Goldman. Participarán Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Elvis Costello y Fats Domino, entre otros. El Huracán Katrina destruyó todo a su paso. A ocho meses de aquellos días, con un turismo a cuenta gotas y la mitad de sus habitantes dispersos a lo largo y ancho del país, las autoridades pusieron en marcha un evento clásico. Muchos tienen la esperanza que el festival ayude a revitalizar la afamada oferta musical de la ciudad. El primer grupo que subirá al escenario es The Soul Rebels, sus ocho miembros perdieron sus casas en la inundación que causó el Huracán Katrina en agosto de 2005 y actualmente viven en Houston. “Todos tenemos mariposas en el estómago”, dijo Lumar Leblanc, quien toca la tuba y es líder de la banda. "¿Vendrá el público? Estoy seguro de que si llegamos a un 70 por ciento de asistencia será un éxito, considerando que la ciudad ha estado tan traumatizada por el huracán", agregó. Si bien el festival tradicionalmente atraía a 400.000 personas (y dejaba ingresos por 200 o 300 millones de dólares), los responsables no se atreven a especular sobre la concurrencia.

  1. Very good blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
    Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a
    paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Thank you!

  8. Hello there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers
    and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
